    Hi all

    I am in the market for an F430 and stumbled upon this company (they had an ebay listing).

    http://www.italian-cars.net/fer_f430_yellow_2006.php

    Has anyone heard of these guys or bought from them? They are based in Hong Kong and Japan. They say they are selling US model cars and pay for shipping to the US.

    Any advice on this would be appreciated! Thanks!

    That yellow one is not a US car that's for sure. Let us know what you find out about these guys if you do some more digging around.

    I see now.. you are referring to the side markers/reflectors, right?

    Is an imported ferrari worth less, in terms of later resale? How about the warranty (is the car still covered in the US)?

    thanks!

    Seems like that website copied all the photos and car information from a Japanese website
    http://www.ms-cruise.com/stock_top.html

    The Hong Kong address/Hong Kong showroom was copied from Italian Motors (Hong Kong Ferrari dealer).
    http://www.dealer.ferrari.com/italianmotors/

    To be honest, I have never heard of this car dealer in Hong Kong or seen any of those inventory cars here. I would suggest to stay away from the ebay seller and inform ebay investigate that seller.

    That might have been the best thread I've read here. Amazing, amazing, amazing. So...the same guy that started that thread started this one? Are they stupid enough to try again? What idiots.
